Leader Devo
The summer after I graduated high school, I interned for a ministry that took kids who have had difficult experiences on outdoor adventures. I remember a group that came backpacking with us. A bus dropped us off at around 12,000 feet elevation, and we spent three days hiking about 10–15 miles each day. For many of the kids, it was their first experience like this. Each night we’d set up our tents, gather around the fire for dinner, and have conversations about life and Jesus.
It’s been decades since that summer, but I still remember how God worked in those kids’ lives as they hiked for miles, slept in tents, and accomplished things they’d never thought possible.
Read Leviticus 23:1–2, 33–36, 39–43.
Just as we remember on Christmas and Easter what God has done, the Jewish people were called to remember their time in the wilderness, when they lived in tents after leaving Egypt. God Himself dwelled with them in the tabernacle, a tent that traveled with them until they reached the promised land. Even after they arrived, God wanted them to remember that time yearly.
Can you think of a past time when life looked different, but looking back, you see how God was with you, growing you? How can you celebrate and worship as you remember His presence and goodness?
